XXVI MOSTRA INTERNACIONAL DE CURTAMETRAXES VILA DE NOIA

The XXVI Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia extends the submission deadline and publishes the official regulations for this year’s edition.
The Mostra Internacional de Curtametraxes Vila de Noia announces the extension of the short film submission deadline until 2:00 p.m. on September 15, 2025.
This decision was made after considering the feedback received from several distributors, directors, and film industry professionals regarding the regulations published on June 15. Those rules introduced substantial changes compared to previous editions, and given that they were implemented late in the year, they risked limiting the participation of many filmmakers who usually adapt their works to the traditional [...]

Festival CinemaZERO

Deadline: 31 Oct 2025

Call for entries

International Festival

Short film festival

“ZERO cinema” is an artisanal and experimental artistic approach that contrasts the assembly line of industrial film production; it is hyper-independent, produced or auto-produced by single artists or small groups (less than 10 people) with no commercial interests; it is made with common and easily accessible, or innovative and low cost, means of production.

“ZERO cinema” has a different attitude, adventurous or poetic, DIY or punk, anarchic or self-sufficient, to the video work; it speaks with a personal, intimate, courageous and autonomous voice.

“ZERO cinema” is, more than any other thing, a strong idea of cinema and artistic production.
